	45 seconds to boot from a cold, powered-off machine? That's 
pretty accurate.

	If you mean 45 seconds to come out of suspend, that's 
absolutely unacceptable. It takes 2-3 seconds for my laptop to come 
out of suspend from apm, and another 1-2 seconds for network to return 
(I don't have to unload or reload any drivers, it "Just Works(tm)").

	If it requires kernel patches, forget it. Does it work with 
stock, standard kernels, out of the box? I'm typically using daily 
kernels, because I need to track changes in the usb and driver 
subsystems for my development work on pilot-link and other projects.
